Win Butler of Arcade Fire has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple people, Pitchfork reports. The frontman, who is married to fellow band member Régine Chassagne, has stated that it is his belief that the relationships were consensual and that any claims of misconduct are "revisionist, and frankly just wrong." Speaking to Pitchfork, three women and one gender-fluid person share similar stories.
All were fans of Arcade Fire and aged between 18 and 23 when they met Butler. The alleged incidents occurred between 2015 and 2020, when Butler was between 34 and 39.
The three women claim that the age gap, plus Butler's position as the lead singer in a Grammy-winning band, created an unbalanced power dynamic.
